Funny! World’s tallest man saves dolphins!

 

I found this funny stuff. World's tallest man in China saved two dolphins. Two dolphins ate plastic and doctors were not able to remove it from their body. So they called this tallest fellow of the world! And he with his longest Human hands, remove the plastic.

World’s tallest man saves dolphins - Wonderful World - MSNBC.com

Now the main question arises, its ok that dolphins are saved. But who will inquire this incident? How the hell the dolphins ate plastics? Whose mistake was it? Not mine!

Lonelygirl15 blogs: A new type of theat to big tv studios?

 

Quote

Creators of Lonelygirl15 blogs go public - Tech News & Reviews - MSNBC.com

If you have ever seen the video of lonelygirl15 on Youtube, you will find it better than almost all TV serials. The actress is good. And her acting is good too. Till now even no one thought that she was just an actress. People believed her genuine. But, as it comes out, she is just an actress and was hired by a gang of thee guys.

So basically, it was the script and acting which got appreciation.

But, it is actually a new era in producing shows for entertainmaint. Here, by seeing the comments by viewers, the script writer and director will change the script. So its like a real reality tv show. God knows how much amount the big production houses have spent on reality tv shows. And look at here, these people just used free YouTube service and created a highly popular site.

Hates off. Internet is providing level playing field to all people, indeed.

Indian version of Summer of 69: Sambhar of 69!

Desi Version
Sambhar of 69


I had my first real six rupees,
stole it from my father's pants.
went to a madrasi hotel,
to eat the sambhar of 69.


Me and some kadke dost,
had it all and we caught bukhaar,
jimmy puked, Joey got ulcers,
and Bagga ne maari dakar.


Oh when I went back there now,
the food was as stale as ever,
and though it was 1999,
still the sambhar was being served over there,
that was the worst food of my life.


Therez no use in complaining,
when you got no other place to eat,
rushed in the evening to the doctors clinic, but he too was at the
toilet seat, yeah
standing there waiting outside,
nurse told me I will wait forever,
oh and when I held my breath,
I knew that I had to use that too there
That was the worst food of my life.
Back to the sambhar of 69.


Man I was getting killed,
I was full and restless,
I needed to unwind,
I guess nothing can wait forever - FOREVER... NO!!!!

Post using Windows Live Writer

Microsoft has released Windows Live Writer specifically targeted for blogger. And, Microsoft has made available this software for all other blog platforms also like Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad etc. Surprised? Now Microsoft is making software which will help you to blog on their rival companies blog engines.

This is my first post using this software. So far, I have not found any problem with it. It is cool. My blog on Blogger.com is hosted at my own domain http://www.talkncafe.com using the facility provided by Blogger to host your blog wherever you want. So that blog is not accessible by this software. Also I have another question also in my mind. Suppose you have multiple blogs in Blogger, what will you find by using your username and password in this software? I have multiple blogs, but I have hosted all of them on my website so I can't figure out. If anyone gets the answer, do share with me.

Missing you...

I'm Missing You Why can't I speak when I have so much to tell? Why can't I write when I have so much in mind? Why can't I sing when there's music in my heart? Why can't I dance when there's rythm in the air? Too many words left unspoken Too many things left undone Why can't it be and why can't I? For all I know this pain deep inside Took the gladness from my heart. Is this the pain of missing you? Is this the reason behind it all? Hear the agony of my heart Longing for you and for your touch Feeling your lips, feeling your face Missing your kisses and warm embrace. When will the waiting ever be over? For as long as were apart I can never be whole Oh! My Dearest Love I just want you to know That my heart is aching because "I'M MISSING YOU!"

Increased hits from Baidu.com

I dont know why but recently I am receiving too many hits from popular chinese search engine http://www.baidu.com/
 
I dont know how I got listed there but I am quite sure the chinese search engine has fallen in love with my space so much that it has replaced Google, yahoo and msn from top search engine referer list!!
 
I love China!!

Me Learning Spanish Language

I don't understand why this world is crazy to learn French language. When I declared that I am going to learn Spanish language, people started questioning that why I want to learn Spanish? Why not French? And my answer to them was why French?  It seems French language has created a strong reputation, so strong that schools like Delhi Public School, Maharaja Agarasen teaches thier students this language in primary standards itself.
 
Now my logic, is that Spanish is almost the second language of United States now as the maxicans and latin americans continue to migrate there. I also like Spanish songs. Whole Latin America and Spain speaks Spanish language. ITs so easy. I have already started to learn it. I am not saying that French language is bad. I too want to learn that language also. But, just because people around are crazy about something, thats why you should learn it, thats the bad idea.
 
 
What you say? DO you have any idea about this? and please if someone knows good spanish movies or novels, or something else which I should refer to when I am entering in the world of Spanish, do tell me.

Now, Understanding Guys (this one 4 gals)

Hey this entry is for girls. I posted an entry last time for guys and girls complained.... so here you are girls..tips or facts about guys..in most cases they are true..but its upto you how you found them..
 
1. Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls.
they prefer neat and presentable girls.

2. Guys hate flirts.

3.When a guy says he doesn't understand you, it simply means you're not thinking the way he is.

4. Guys may be flirting around all day but before they go to sleep, they always think about the girl they truly care about.

5. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics.

6. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.

7. Guys will do anything just to get the girl's attention.

8. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back.

9. When a girl says "no", a guy hears it as "try again tomorrow".
... so true.

10. You have to tell a guy what you really want before he gets the
message clearly.

11. Guys love their moms.

12. A guy would sacrifice his money for lunch just to get you a couple
of roses.

13. A guy often thinks about the girl who likes him.
But this doesn't mean that the guy likes her.

14. You can never understand him unless you listen to him.

21. Guys really admire girls that they like even if they're not that much pretty.

listen to him. You don't need to give advice ... very true.

23. A usual act that proves that the guy likes you is when he teases you.

24. Guys cannot keep secrets that girls tell them.

25. Guys think too much.

26. Guys fantasies are unlimited.

27. Girls' height doesn't really matter to a guy but her weight does! ... very true.

28. Guys tend to get serious with their relationship and become too
possessive. So watch out girls!!!

29. Guys are more talkative than girls are especially when the topic is about girls.

30. You can truly say that a guy has good intentions if you see him praying sometimes.

31. If a guy says you're beautiful, that guy likes you.

32. Guys hate girls who overreact.

33. Guys love you more than you love them IF they are serious in your
relationships.

My Hindi Blog

Now I have launched my hindi blog also.
 
 
Actually, this hindi blog is a part of a website http://www.tarakash.com/ which is developed by Pankaj Bengani, designer of my site http://www.talkncafe.com/  with his big brother Sanjay Begani.
 
 
 
My other blog in english is here: http://blog.talkncafe.com/

Run your bike without petrol!!

Forest minister of Indian state of Chhatisagadh says that now any vehicle can run without petrol. Instead we can use liquid of MAHUDHA, a local tree. As mahudha liquid has high level of ethanol, your motor  car, bike can run without petrol. So unlike other methods, in which you have to mix ethanol with petrol, here you do not have to use petrol at all!! Well but nothing is good for me as I live in state of Gujarat where alcolhol is illegal to drink for humans and I think government would extend that rule for vehicles also. But over all its a good idea to let your vehicle drink two pegs of alcohol!!
 
Now what would you say when you go to petrol pump?? Give my bike 10 pegs of mahudha!!
Litre is out, peg is in!!

Understanding Girls....

Is it possible?? here are few points i got from email...
 
1. When a girl says she's sad, but she isn't crying, it means she's
crying in her heart.

2. When she ignores you after you've done something wrong, it's best
to give her some time to cool down before touching her heart with an
apology.

3. A girl can't find anything to hate about the guy she loves (which
is why it is so hard for her to 'get over him' after the
relationship's over.)

4. If a girl loves a guy, he will always be on her mind every minute
of the day, even though she flirts with other guys.

5. When the guy she likes smiles and stares deep into her eyes, she
will melt.

6. A girl likes to hear compliments, but usually not sure how to
react to them.

7. When a particular guy flirts with a girl very often, a girl would
start thinking the guy likes her. So if you treat a girl just as a
friend, go easy on the smiles and stare ok?
8. If you don't like a girl who likes you, break it to her gently.

9. If a girl starts avoiding you after you reject her, leave her
alone for a while. If you still treat her as a friend, talk to her.

10. Girls enjoy talking about what they feel. Music, poetry, drawings
and writing are ways of expressing themselves (which explains why
most girls like writing journals).

11. Never tell a girl that she is useless in anyway.

12. Being too serious can turn a girl off.

13. When the guy she likes calls her for the first time, the girl may
act look uninterested during the call. But as soon as the phone is
back on the hook, she will whoop with joy and immediately start
telephoning her friends to spread the news.

14. A smile means a lot to a girl.

15. If you like a girl, try making friends with her first. Let her
get to know you.

16. If a girl says she can't go out with you because she has to
study, leave.

17. But if she still calls you or expect a call from you, stay.

18. Don't try to guess a girl's feelings. Ask her.

19. Hearing the words "I love you" is a great reassurance to a girl
that she is beautiful.

20. After a girl falls in love with a guy, she'll wonder why she
never noticed him before.

21. If you need tips on how to flirt with a girl, read romance
stories.

22. When class pictures come out, a girl would first check who is
standing next to her crush before actually looking at herself.

23. A girl's ex-crush will always be in her memory, but the guy she
loves now stays in her heart.

24. Girls love having fun!

25. A simple 'Hi' can brighten a girl's day.

26. A girl's best friends usually know best what she is feeling and
going through.

27. Girls hate it when a guy pays attention to them just to get close
to their 'prettier' friend.

28. Love means devotion, caring and happiness to a girl, in that
order.

29. Some girls care about looks, some care about brains, but ALL
girls want a guy who will love and care for them.

30. Girls want nothing more than to feel loved.

31. Girls always hope that they can always remain as friend with
their ex. But never know how !

Live Local Beta

Look at the above picture of a building in Los Angeles, it is what the Live Local team call "BIRD VIEW". Bird view thats the new type of photos you can see in Live local. After being beaten in the satellite picture game by Google product GOOGLE EARTH, now Microsoft has relaunched its satellite images related program Virtual Earth. Both companies aim to enable developers to develop web services that let users find thier current location and details about any place. Like if I want to go to Chicago and I dont know the places to eat or to live, I can find out them using these products. And also I will be able to see the roads also.
Live Local is only available for USA. So for us in India,  Google is the best!!

Intel's New Logo and slogan

Well I got this new logo of Intel. The biggest microprocessor company based in Santa Clara, USA (also in your PC!!) is now changing its 37 years old logo and marketing campaign. Instead of telling everyone "INTEL INSIDE", it will now tell everyone "LEAP AHEAD" as it has changed its corporate slogan also. However, it will continue INTEL INSIDE marketing program for sometime for PC manufacturers. The INTEL INSIDE campaign launched in 90's helped INTEL to be the 5th biggest brand in the world.

BUT WHY INTEL is changing?

The reason for doing this is the diversification and growth in other segments of memory chips. INTEL INSIDE campaign was made for computers indicating that Intel microprocessor resides inside a computer. But now Intel is growing into other segments as well specially in mobile phone chips market. It is trying to create same position in cell phone market right now and for this it recently announced its tie up with
STMicroelectronics. Intel is also desperate to create space for itself into consumer electronics market also. All this prompted it to shift everyone's attention from its current impression as a Computer chip manufacturer. Apple has also declared that it will now use Intel's chips in its some products.

Microsoft Live, Google and Yahoo!

It is a belief in the minds of many techno savvy people that Microsoft has lost its touch against Google in terms of innovation. While Google came up with many innovative products like Google Reader, GMail,Google Earth, Google Talk, Google Web Accelerator, Google AdSense, Picasa and many more search engine products which can be found at Google Labs, Microsoft obiviously seemed lagging far behind with Google's AJAX products.
 
Yahoo! also came out with WEB 2.0 technologies like My WEB and lots more which can be found here: Yahoo! Next. Both Yahoo! and Google work aggresively on developing and marketing front. However both companies developed all these product using AJAX technology and WEB 2.0 concept. They acquired many companies especially those companies who are working in RSS related stuff like blog and podcast or bookmarks. As Google has blogger.com for Blogs, Yahoo has its new 360 blog with a network friendship feature like Google's ORKUT. Microsoft is not behind in any case however with its SPACES blog spot. But, MSN brand has lost its steam. HOTMAIL is lagging far behind in terms of facilities and storage space provided by Google Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. While Google is providing more than 2.5 GB of storage space, Yahoo! is there with 1 GB space and Hotmail with just 250 MB.
 
However there are MSN softwares in each field to compete with two main rivals like My MSN, Microsoft Virtual Earth and many other products. But soon MSFT realise to create a new brand to compete. The new brand is LIVE and Microsoft has even released its email version with whooping 2 GB of storage space, LIVE MAIL and now LIVE MESSENGER. I have received invitation and I found it cool. However, Yahoo! has also released its Messenger 7.5 BETA just 3 days after Microsoft LIVE Messenger 8.0 BETA got released. Live mail has now feature similar to Yahoo mail's auto complete tool which fills email address in To, CC and BCC fields very quickly. It works using AJAX. I found it like online OUTLOOK though.
LIVE Messenger has a feature to see video inside it against Yahoo!'s Launch Radio feature. Google talk is far behind in this game. All there behemoths are fighting for VOIP market. Lets see who leads. I believe its not important how many products you have, it is important how many products have quality and more features. Like Google Talk is not good and so is Google Reader. But Google Earth is very cool. Google is behind as its blogger.com and ORKUT brand are not associated together quite clearly while Yahoo! is far ahead in integrating all its Yahoo Messenger, Mail, FLICKR, 360 blog and social networking concept. So Google has still lot to do in terms of integrating its own products. However Google has one big advantage which none other main competitor have: Google Adsense! All these companies are fighting for desktop searching market also in which Microsoft and Google have launched their products.

Excellent Interview

However this is from an email, but I think it is cool....

Here is an interview:

Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
 
Candidate: I am Rameshwar Kulkarni. I did my Tele Communication engineering from BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology.
 

Interviewer: BabanRao Dhole-Patil Institute of Technology? I had never heard of this college before!
 

Candidate: Great! Even I had not heard of it before getting an admission into it . What happened is - due to cricket world cup I scored badly! in 12th.I was getting a paid seat in a good college. But my father said (I prefer to call him 'baap') - "I can not invest so much of money".(The baap actually said - "I will never waste so much of money on you"). So I had to join this college. Frankly
speaking this name - BabanRao Dhole-Patil, can at the most be related to a Shetakari Mahavidyalaya.

 
Interviewer: ok, ok. It seems you have taken 7 years to complete your engineering.
 
Candidate: Actually I tried my best to finish it in 4 years. But you know, these cricket matches and football world cup, and tennis tournaments. It is difficult to concentrate. So I flunked  in 2nd and 3rd year. So in all I took 4 + 2 = 7 years.
 
Interviewer: But 4+2 is 6.
 

Candidate: Oh, is it? You know I always had KT in maths. But I will try to keep this in mind. 4+2 is 6, good, thanks. These cricket matches really affect exams a lot. I think they should ban it.
 
Interviewer: Good to know that you want cricket matches to be banned.
 

Candidate: No, no... I am talking about Exams!!
 
Interviewer: Ok, What is your biggest achievement in life?
 

Candidate: Obviously, completing my Engineering. My mom never thought I would complete it. In fact, when i flunked in 3rd year, she was looking for a job for me in BEST (Bus corporation in Mumbai) through some relative.
 
Interviewer: Do you have any plans of higher study?
 
Candidate: he he he.. Are you kidding? Completing 'lower' education itself was so much of pain!!
 
Interviewer: Let's talk about technical stuff. On which platforms have you worked?
 
Candidate: Well, I work at SEEPZ, so you can say Andheri is my current platform. Earlier I was at Vashi center. So Vashi was my platform then. As you can see I have experience of different platforms! (Vashi and Andheri are the places in Mumbai)
 
Interviewer: And which languages have you used?
 
Candidate: Marathi, Hindi, English. By the way, I can keep quiet in German, French, Russian and many other languages.
 
Interviewer: Why VC is better than VB?
 
Candidate: It is a common sense - C comes after B. So VC is a higher version than VB. I heard very soon they are coming up with a new language VD!
 

Interviewer: Do you know anything about Assembly Language?
 
Candidate: Well, I have not heard of it. But I guess, this is the language our ministers and MPs use in assembly.
 
Interviewer: What is your general project experience?
 
Candidate: My general experience about projects is - most of th! e times they are in pipeline!
 
Interviewer: Can you tell me about your current job?
 
Candidate: Sure, Currently I am working for Bata InfoTech ltd. Since joining BIL, I am on Bench. Before joining BIL, I used to think that Bench was another software like Windows.
 
Interviewer: Do you have any project management experience?
 
Candidate: No, but I gues! s it shouldn't be difficult. I know Word and Excel. I can talk a lot. I know how to dial for International phone call and use speaker facility. And very important - I know few words like - 'Showstoppers ' , 'hotfixes', 'SEI-CMM','quality','versioncontrol','deadlines' , 'Customer Satisfaction' etc. Also I can blame others for my
mistakes!
 
Interviewer: What are your expectations from our company?
 
Candidate: Not much.
1. I should at least get 40,000 in hand.
2. I would like to work on a live EJB project. But it should not have deadlines. I personally feel that pressure affects natural talent.
3. I believe in flexi-timings.
4. Dress code is against basic freedom, so I would like to wear t-shirt and jeans.
5. We must have sat-sun off. I will suggest Wednesday off also, so as to avoid breakdown due to overwork.

6. I would like to go abroad 3 times a year on short term preferably 1-2 months) assignments. Personally I prefer US, Australia and Europe. But considering the fact that there is a world cup in West Indies in 2007, I don't mind going there in that period. As you can see I am modest and don't have many expectations. So can I assume my selection?
 

Interviewer: he he he ha ha ha. Thanks for your interest in our organization. In fact I was never entertained so much before.

Welcome to TCS ..  We look forward to working with you..

Gujarat Earth Quake Reloaded

Just few seconds of shake and more than 30,000 people died in Pakistani occupied part of Kashmir.Pakistani army quotes 18,000 deaths as offical figure and still rising. As the time passes,chances to find the lost people darkens. My memory is now reloaded with pictures of the earth quake which I witnessed.

The earth quake is not new to me. I was sleeping when earthquake striked in my state Gujarat in January 26, 2001. Although I was on first floor,my house was shaking too much. When I went out of the house, I can see the multistory buildings were shaking dangerously. And right than, a 10 story building named "MANSI" collapsed right front of my eyes. When we went to take my grandpa from his house on 7th floor, I saw debris of MANSI TOWER in our way. My dad took the car from other side. But, one scene was shocking, two people were hanging on the remaining building. I do not know which was that floor. But it was a different scence. One part of the building has collapsed and some people are hanging on the remaining part of the building. You have also seen this type of scence but in movies. I was watching this live.
